Help Lauren save Pepper - surgery needed
A dog named Pepper needs an operation to remove the blockage - a $2,050 bill the family can't cover.

Pepper is my dog of eleven years. On 9 September we rushed to the Orlando Emergency Vet Clinic with a tumor on the spleen. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $2,050.
They have stabilized Pepper, but the treatment can't wait beyond November.
Pepper is more than a pet - Pepper is the reason I get out of bed. I have already put $250 toward the bills and asked for a payment plan.
Whatever I can't raise, I'll repay to anyone who needs it back.
If more is raised than needed, the surplus goes to the Orlando Emergency Vet Clinic's charity fund for other animals.
Where the $2,050 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $980
• Hospitalization (3 nights): $490
• Medication and follow-up visits: $230
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $350
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
Updates from Lauren
We're at 82% thanks to 27 of you. the first invoice got paid this week. More news soon.
Update from Orlando: the plan for emergency surgery is now scheduled. We're at 60% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($180 in total) I met with the vet clinic and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

best of luck, Lauren. Shared it with a few friends
Thanks for sharing this, Lauren. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Mthatha
Sending strength, Lauren. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Orlando.
Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best!
Give Pepper a hug from me. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
